TOPIC: Strongest Fighter Build

Strongest Fighter Build 6 years 7 months ago #1

With Gencon just a stones throw away from now I have been putting together multiple character builds for my TD run with friends (I make their character for them because I have the largest collection of the bunch)

While making my main character build for fighter I am pretty impressed with how strong i can make it given the limited good tokens i hold. I have been incredibly curious though with what the strongest possible build for a fighter class character, using any of the currently released tokens, would be?

If you're talking just strength stat, I think you are best served going with barbarian, as they have a higher starting strength.

That said, I think the highest you can get a Fighter to is 42.

Strongest to me means most damage.

You can put together some great ranges builds.

So I want to be sure

+ Pouch of Tulz & Potion Bull's Strength for 50.

You could also drop the Redoubt Set, add Crown of Might (same effect as +2 STR on combat stats), and add Fae Oak Armor for the same hit/damage bonus as if your STR was 47.

I thought you couldn't use both? Isn't the rule... if a shield is used to fulfill a set bonus, you can't also use another offhand.

Tokens aren't locked across combat modes.

According to the latest DMG:

"When a set bonus is achieved by equipping a weapon, shield, orb, or anything held in (not worn on) the hand, the hand-held item is “locked in” for that mode of combat" (emphasis mine)

Technically you can use orb + weapon in melee, and shield + sling in ranged. This is what Eric affectionately refers to as "shield sleaze."

I believe you are mistaken about this. I could find nothing about it either the DM guide or the Coaches guide.

From the DM guide

"When a set bonus is achieved by equipping a weapon, shield, orb, or anything held in (not worn on) the hand, the hand-held item is “locked in” for that mode of combat."
